Should the next main rivla have the fire starter as his/her main?

We've had 2 Major rivals with Water starters, 3 if you count barry, and 2 major rivals with grass starters but none really with a focus on fire starters. I think it's be cool to reverse the dynamic and give the rival the fire starter as their powerhouse and maybe this time have Ash's water starter pick up the slack and fully evolve.

“...This is a tricky problem, huh. I really, really want to see the other Heroes... and if it works out, I want to make friends with them! If I made friends with six Heroes, I’d be an awesome mage! We could even conquer the world!”

It should have been Samurott VS Serperior since they were from the same lab. Serperior could have had Trip's cockiness to make a rivalry like Infernape and Electivire. It could have also added to the Ash and Trip "rivalry"

I personally think Ash's next rival should get the Fire Starter, it'd be a nice change and the closest we got to that was Paul and Richie. IMO Fire types suit rivals.

Misinterpreting my posts is not your fault, negative repping me, and getting very sensitive about my posts because you misinterpreted my posts however is your fault. Think really hard, before negative repping or making a big deal about my posts. I don't appreciate being negative repped for reasons that are a result of misinterpreting my posts.

I don't care is one of the options...I choose the same, I dont care what starter the rival gets, thats no reason to hinder Satoshi in any way, its just a way for the fire starter haters to phantasyse about Satoshi not having a strong fire starter.

I love starters and my favourite character of the show is probably Satoshi so I always want him to get the 3 starters.

never really liked the writers of the show, and not having ochawott evolve -to keep the rivalry with trip and his (now) serperior alive and interesting-
is just one of the many incredibly annoying ideas that make me really wonder why i haven't dropped the whole show alltogether.
I would like the idea of the main rival having the fire-starter, if it meant a fully evolved water powerhouse for ash,
but we all know the writers would make it a water/grass rivalry before even thinking of doing that, which in this region was actiually the perfect set-up.
In the end, -no frikkin surprise there- they screwed that up royally because of shitty marketing-purposes, as it hey don't make tons of cash allready.
